My position on this is that Bishadi is spamming the forum. He has been told not to, and yet continues. The only reason there isn't any recent threads started by him is because he can no longer post new threads.

Spamming is an offense we have banned for in the past.

I think it is appropriate now.

Stark and I have decided to end the debate. Bishadi has been banned. If there is going to be flack about this, let the discussion begin. Everyone has a right to say how they feel, even if you disagree. In the end, we decided the health of this forum is more important to us than interpretations of specific rules. But, in keeping with the rules, we came to the decision that he had been warned not to flood the forum with threads of the same topic. As Logica so well summarized, he continued to do what he was asked not to. We did not make this decision lightly. We did not give in to what felt popular. We decided this is our home and he was affecting the health of our home. And so now the deed is done.

Thank you, o evil overlords.
